>>>I am the resistance!Help me out here boBB...what exactly is it you are resisting?? I am confused by your seemingly recent spate of 'combative' posts. I know you like to stir things up a little, but in the past, your posts have been more...sort of...productive? intriguing? pertinent?
I would honestly like to understand your purpose here. Revolution can be a much needed course of action, but where is the necessity in changing the "government" of this board? Freedom of speech is in no way diminished in the request that the speech be framed in civil language. One's opinions can easily be voiced without resorting to assaults on the opinions of others. A simple "I think you are wrong and this is why" serves the same purpose as "You idiot so-and-so, how can you possibly think you are right?".
boBB, please understand that this post is in no way meant as a criticism. It really is a genuine request for clarification on your stance. Why all this animosity for Dr. Bob and the mechanics of this site? What exactly do you feel is missing here, which needs "resistance" in order to be manifested?
I comprehend the need to underscore the hypocrisy between the Government's sanction of specific drugs in psychiatric practice, while it criminalizes the use(and sale), of those same drugs, by non-medical personnel. Still, I cannot understand what point there is in dragging Psycho-babble and Dr. Bob into the fray, when neither is responsible for making current drug policy in this country.
All this submitted respectfully for your consideration. Sincerely, CarolAnn
